Was my GPS programmed by an adventurer

No.




It was a VERY fast trip. While the 100mph is not literal I was doing a lot more than 100km/h most of the time.

"It was a great run, pouring rain and poor visibility along roads I had virtually never been on."

Thats pretty stupid traveling at speed in those conditions and on a road you don't know!

I suppose if anything happened it would be just another number...no big loose.

There is no excuse for driving dangerously.

Mmmmm

I was waiting for one of these.

You don't know the reason for the drive and I am not going to tell you.

All I will say is that despite having to get there in a hurry I had no issues with the drive. No close calls, no slides or near misses but there is always someone who reads that into it.

Sorry olcoolone but I think your out of line.

Duncs

No I don't think I out of line!

What gives you the right to break the law and dangerous conditions and put the lives of innocent people in danger.

And you advertised the fact that you were speeding in bad conditions.

I don't care what excuse you had for doing it, the simple thing is you did it and bragged about it.




"No close calls, no slides or near misses but there is always someone who reads that into it."

And if it did happen you might not be here to brag about it?

Does Red Flashing Lights and a LOUD siren mean anything???


Cheers Kev

Olcoolone,

I usually don't comment on government brainwashed robots like yourself but people like you are really starting to give me the irks !!
What gives you the right to publicly bully and play god by dictating to others what YOU deem as dangerous and what YOU think is stupid ?
I'm sure Duncs was fully aware of the law, it was his decision to bend it, he doesn't need the likes of you jumping up and down carrying on with your inane comments.
You have no idea of his skill level or his previous driving experience, and I'll bet my left n-- both are far in advance of yours !
So mind your own business and pull your head in !
And just for your information if any of this garbage the guvmint tries brainwashing us with about "every K over kills" and "speed kills" etc had any truth about it I should've been dead 3 times over years ago !

Olcoolone and everyone else,

This post was never meant to generate angst amongst forum members. One of the things I like about this forum is the ability to discuss things openly and frankly, as long as we remain polite.

Olcoolone I still believe you are out of line. You don't have all the facts and have made a judgement based on a couple of lines of text. Inflection is difficult to communicate in text and maybe that is part of the problem.

If it will appease you in any way look at what Sir Kev said. If it is the law you are concerned about then I can honestly say I did not break the law. In fact it could be argued that had I not travelled as quickly as I did then I would have been in breach laws other than the MTA.

It was a long drive, Road, traffic and weather conditions varied considerably during its course and I believe that I travelled safely at all times. Some may chose to argue, as you have, but I was the only one there. Some of the time I was travelling quickly and at other times I was going very slow. The half metre deep creek crossing slowed me down considerably and while I enjoy the challenge of such a crossing it was not welcome that particular day.

This thread was not meant to provoke argument I was and still am somewhat bemused that a navigation device which obviously works off a programmed set of directives could provide me with two entirely different routes between the same two places. That was what I was asking about. It did the same to me today, suggesting I take a road that even the locals can't find when I was heading out of town but bringing me back via the main road.

Anyway lets just settle down and enjoy what we have in common. A love of being out there having a look around.

Duncs

I understand all that. What I can't get my head around is why it gave me two different routes between the same two places. One was about 10% longer than the other in distance and about 25% longer in time.

I did nothing to change settings in the GPS it just did it by itself.

Duncs

You may be on to something with that thought Bonz.
